The Conductor and the Orchestra

In this presentation, Dr. John Clark will discuss both what an orchestra requires from its conductor–techniques such as baton control, balance and tempi–as well as what skills a player needs in order to be part of an orchestra. Dr. Clark will talk about some specific conductors, including his friend and colleague Royston Nash, and will play recordings of various ensembles. The talk will end with an audience question and answer period.

This presentation is part of our Royston Nash Music Appreciation Series, supported in part by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, the Mid Cape Cultural Council, and the Kirkman Trust.
